1. Three persons live between the one who likes Green colour and U who lives just above the floor of B.

2. Only two persons live between B and the one who likes Black colour.

3. Only one person lives between the one who likes Black colour and the one who likes White colour.

4. P lives just below the floor of the person who likes Pink colour.

5. G likes Red colour.

6. As many persons live above the floor of the G as many below him. Therefore, case 1 and case 3 are eliminated.

7. The person who likes Blue colour lives below the floor of the one who likes Yellow colour.

8. Z does not like Yellow colour.

9. L lives just below the person who likes Yellow colour but does not like Blue colour. Therefore, case 2(a) is eliminated.

Hence, the correct statement is The person who likes Green colour lives on top floor.

Here, persons are B, G, L, P, S, U and Z and colours are Black, Blue, Green, Pink, Red, White and Yellow.

1. Three persons live between the one who likes Green colour and U who lives just above the floor of B.

2. Only two persons live between B and the one who likes Black colour.

8. Z does not like Yellow colour.

9. L lives just below the person who likes Yellow colour but does not like Blue colour. Therefore, case 2(a) is eliminated.

Since, S and the person who likes Black colour lives on adjacent floor. Therefore, statement A is correct. 

One person lives between S and G. Therefore, statement B is incorrect.

S lives three floors above the floor of U. Therefore, statement C is correct.

Hence, the correct answer is both A and C.

1. Astha starts walking from point A towards the east direction and after walking for 5 Km she reached at point B.

2. From here, she takes a left turn and walks for 4 Km and reaches at point C.

3. Then, she takes right turn and walks for 2 Km to reach at point D.

4. After that she takes another right turn and walks for 9 Km to reach at point E.

5. Then, she takes another right turn and walks for 4 Km to reach at point F.

6. From here, she takes right turn and walks for 6 Km to reach at point G. Then, she takes left turn and walks for 3 Km and reached her destination at point H.

Point H is in North direction with respect to point A. Therefore, statement first is incorrect.

Point G is in Northwest direction with respect to point B. Therefore, statement second is incorrect.

Point C is in west direction with respect to point D. Therefore, statement third is incorrect.

Point H is in southwest direction with respect to point C.Therefore, statement fourth is correct.

Hence, the correct statement is Point H is in southwest direction with respect to point C.

1. Astha starts walking from point A towards the east direction and after walking for 5 Km she reached at point B.

2. From here, she takes a left turn and walks for 4 Km and reaches at point C.

3. Then, she takes right turn and walks for 2 Km to reach at point D.

4. After that she takes another right turn and walks for 9 Km to reach at point E.

5. Then, she takes another right turn and walks for 4 Km to reach at point F.

6. From here, she takes right turn and walks for 6 Km to reach at point G. Then, she takes left turn and walks for 3 Km and reached her destination at point H.

Since, each pair represents first point is in Southwest to the second point whereas in GE point G is in Northwest to point E.

Hence, the odd one is GE.

1. Astha starts walking from point A towards the east direction and after walking for 5 Km she reached at point B.

2. From here, she takes a left turn and walks for 4 Km and reaches at point C.

3. Then, she takes right turn and walks for 2 Km to reach at point D.

4. After that she takes another right turn and walks for 9 Km to reach at point E.

5. Then, she takes another right turn and walks for 4 Km to reach at point F.

6. From here, she takes right turn and walks for 6 Km to reach at point G. Then, she takes left turn and walks for 3 Km and reached her destination at point H.

Since, point D is in Northeast direction with respect to point F and Point C is in Northeast direction with respect to point A.

Hence, the correct answer is Same as that of point C with respect to point A.

The least possible Venn diagram for the given statements is as follows:

Conclusions:

I. Some Vocabulary can be English. → False (As in the given statement there is clearly mention Only Grammar are Vocabulary so no other things can be it. Hence, does not follow)

II. No Vocabulary is English. → True (As in the given statement there is clearly mention Only Grammar are Vocabulary so no other things can be it. Hence, follows)

Hence, the correct answer is Only conclusion II follows.

The least possible Venn diagram for the given statements is as follows:

Conclusions:

I. Some Red can be Violet. → True (As there is no direct relation between Red and Violet is given therefore, it can be possible but not certain. Hence, follows.)

II. Some Red can be Black. → False (As there is clearly given in the statement only Violet are Black so no other thing can be Black. Hence, does not follow.)

Hence, the correct answer is Only conclusion I follows.

The least possible Venn diagram for the given statements is as follows:

Conclusions:

I. Some Buses are Scooters. → True (From the given diagram it is clear. Hence, follows.)

II. Some Cars are Trucks.  → False (As there is no direct relation between the two is given so it can be possible but not definite. Hence, does not follow.)

Hence, the correct answer is only conclusion I follows.

Pairs in the forward direction → 2 - 5, 6 - 8

Pairs in Backward direction → 1 - 6, 2 - 6, 1 - 2, 3 - 4 , 3 - 5, 3 - 6, 5 - 6.

Hence, there are nine such pairs.
